Description

A delightful festive cake with the freshness of cranberries and the nutty flavor of almonds.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup granulated sugar
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, softened
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ½ cup sour cream
  • 1 ½ teaspoons baking powder
  • ¼ teaspoon salt
  • 1 cup fresh cranberries
  • ½ cup sliced almonds
  • ¼ cup almond milk
  • ½ teaspoon almond extract
  • Powdered sugar for dusting

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). Grease and flour a bundt pan.

  2. In a bowl, whisk together flour, baking powder, and salt.

  3. In a separate large bowl, cream the butter and sugar together until light and fluffy.

  4. Beat in the eggs, one at a time, mixing well after each addition. Add vanilla and almond extract.

  5. Gradually add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, alternating with almond milk, beginning and ending with the flour mixture. Stir in sour cream.

  6. Gently fold in the fresh cranberries and half of the sliced almonds.

  7. Pour the batter into the prepared bundt pan, smoothing the top. Sprinkle remaining sliced almonds over the batter. Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until a toothpick inserted into the center comes out clean.

  8. Allow the cake to cool in the pan for 10 minutes, then turn it out onto a wire rack to cool completely. Once cooled, dust with powdered sugar.

Notes

  • Consistency: Ensure the butter is at room temperature for the best creaming consistency.
  • Optional Additions: For extra flavor, consider sprinkling cinnamon into the batter or adding a glaze of melted white chocolate over the top.
  • Storage: Store the cake in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days or refrigerate for up to a week.
